We’ve seen a lot of fitness headphones and earbuds but the latest to turn our heads are the wireless BlueBuds X from JayBird. According to the company these “rewrite” the rules of Bluetooth audio, which is quite a bold statement but the early user reviews indicate the company is delivering the goods and more.
The key to this is that Bluetooth may be fine for transmitting sounds a short distance, but often with by compromising some quality as it requires the music be decompressed when sent through the air. The BlueBuds X utilize a native Bluetooth SBC codec called Shift, which can deliver a level of purity and sound that could rival and even challenge wired headphones. Video after the jump
